FAQ about Asus K54C RAM
How many RAM slots does the K54C have?
It has 2 slots total, but only 1 is actually accessible for upgrades. The other slot has soldered memory that can't be removed.
What's the maximum RAM I can put in this laptop?
8GB total. Since one slot is fixed and not upgradeable, you're limited by what you can add to the single accessible slot.
What type of RAM do I need?
DDR3 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized sticks, not the full-size desktop RAM. Make sure it's DDR3, not DDR4 or anything else.
What speed RAM should I get?
1333MHz (also labeled as PC3-10600) is the recommended speed. You might be able to use faster RAM, but it'll just run at 1333MHz anyway.
Can I mix different RAM speeds or brands?
Since one slot is fixed, you're already mixing. Just make sure whatever you add is DDR3 SODIMM. The system will run both sticks at the speed of the slower one.
How do I know how much RAM is in the fixed slot?
Check your current total RAM in system settings. Whatever you have now is what's soldered in the fixed slot. Subtract that from 8GB to know how much you can add.
